½ lb ground pork
1 large egg
Ingredient note
Eggs are safe during pregnancy as long as they are cooked all the way through.
¼ cup yellow onion, finely grated
½ tsp ground allspice
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp unsalted butter

For the gravy

2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp cornstarch

salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten free breadcrumbs and milk. Stir and let stand for 2 minutes until the breadcrumbs absorb the milk and form a paste.
2
Add the ground beef, ground pork, egg, grated onion, allspice, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to the breadcrumb mixture. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the meat.
